Answer: 127 (choice D)

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We can apply the remote interior angle theorem.

The exterior angle DFG is far away from the remote interior angles FGH and GHF. In other words, the exterior angle is not adjacent to these remote interior angles.

The remote interior angles add to this exterior angle.

(angle FGH) + (angle GHF) = angle DFG

(89) + (5x-7) = 14x+1

5x + 82 = 14x + 1

82-1 = 14x-5x

81 = 9x

9x = 81

x = 81/9

x = 9

If this is the case, then,

angle DFG = 14*x+1 = 14*9+1 = 127
